I'm thinking a relay could run classification on incoming events and automatically add the embedding events to its database.  Clients could choose to use those embeddings to detect "spam-like substances" and auto-hide or flag posts for user review.

The relay could even auto-delete the most spammy events based on an analysis of the embeddings.

Is that reasonable, or too computationally expensive? 
 embeddings come with their own spam problem 😬 and should probably be blocked by default see:

Maybe a dedicated relay/service, or pay to store the event could be  solution.
